5 Must-Have Crypto Websites

For those of you who are making their first steps into the crypto world, and also for the experts, we’ve picked the five must-have websites. These sites have to be your home page, or at least added to your favorites bar.

Bitcoin.org: Learn The Basics

Bitcoin.org is a great place to learn some basics. The major Bitcoin website offers a glance at Bitcoin’s whitepaper, which was written by Satoshi Nakamoto. For newbies, make sure you read the “What You Need to Know” section. Bitcoin.com belongs to Bitcoin Cash (which is a fork of Bitcoin).

Reddit: What’s Going On

While you can always read crypto news on CryptoPotato, the hottest place for the crypto community has always been Reddit. Despite the fact that Reddit reminds you of the old forums that were operated during the first years of the internet, the fact remains that users can hide under nicknames and contribute to the crypto-dedicated Reddit communities. The most popular crypto Sub-reddits are Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. We can recommend that traders should visit the Ethtrader Sub-reddit.

CoinMarketCap: What’s The Price

CoinMarketCap is the leading currency index for cryptocurrencies. Real-time data from all the trading platforms, including 24-hour trading volumes (by coin or by exchange), daily percentage change, total market cap value, and more. A must have.

If you are looking for an even more convenient way to track cryptocurrency prices – here are 5 crypto portfolio tracking apps you should know.

Coinbase: Buy Your First Bitcoins

Based in San Francisco, USA. Coinbase was founded in 2012 and offers a great easy-to-understand exchange, which is a good place to start. The only disadvantage is that Coinbase only has FIAT integrations in 32 countries (led by the USA). Before buying any cryptos, we would recommend that you read our Bitcoin for beginners guide.

eToro, founded in 2006, also offers an easy way to buy, hold, and store your first cryptocurrencies and operates in more than 60 countries.

BitcoinTalk: Crypto Hardcore Forums

Despite losing its popularity over time, BitcoinTalk is still a huge forum zone which coordinates everything that happens around the crypto world. This includes information about new crypto coins and coin announcements, discussions about Bitcoin Core, and a lot more. Like Reddit, It is very important to know who to listen to, and those who are not worth even reading. The simplest way is the level of trust, and the number of messages can also be an indicator if the writer is a newbie or worth reading.

Bonus Websites

Tradingview – The site offers a variety of technical tools, such as graphs for all cryptocurrencies and more. Tradingview can run in a web browser or as an application. It is a trading platform and social network for analyzing financial assets and trading ideas. The amazing thing is that this service is currently free of charge. You can create professional graphs using their available tools.

CoinCodex – This is a coin index website, just like Coinmarketcap. However, CoinCodex has some advantages. Such as an improved user experience thanks to the fabulous design, coin prices are automatically updated, news outlet aggregation, and a crypto guides section.

Coin Market Cal – Anyone involved in crypto knows there’s a huge amount of information to be found on the Internet and that it is almost impossible to keep track of all the various events in the hundreds of projects and ICOs running concurrently. This calendar is solving that problem. The idea is a calendar of events that are fed by the community. Anyone can add an event onto the calendar and specify details about the event (for example a conference, software update, product release, etc.). The other visitors of the site are the ones who mark each event as Real or Fake. CoinDesk also has a crypto events’ calendar – From time to time, conferences are held worldwide. The CoinDesk news site dedicates a whole section to a calendar of those events.

CoinLib – A cryptocurrency price tracking and portfolio website. Different from Coinmarketcap due to its feature of real-time price updates and advanced features. Users can add coins to their favorites list, create and track their own portfolio, set up custom alerts, make detailed coin comparisons, find the best prices for a trading pair across exchanges, and take advantage of several other cool features. Data is collected from over 160 exchanges.
